Hardware Configuration and Installation
Step 6. Connect the MXIbus Cable
There are two basic types of MXIbus cables. MXIbus cables can have either a single connector
on each end or a single connector on one cable end and a double connector on the other end.
Your VME-AT2000 kit comes standard with a cable with single connectors on each end.
Nonpolarized Cables
The cable with a single connector on each cable end is nonpolarized and can be installed with
either end connected to either device. Be sure to tighten the screw locks to ensure proper pin
connection. See Figure 2-11.
